Growing up, I knew of two, maybe three dual prophecies in the Bible espoused by WT, Matt 24 being the main one (last days), Daniel 4 being the other (2520 years), and possibly one other, but I can't recall from back then. Nowadays, it seems as if nearly every prophecy in the Bible has two fulfillments, according to WT. Prophecies in Jeremiah, Malachi 3:1 (yep, right from the 7/15/13... how they get the "Jesus inspected the spiritual temple" thing and now that Russell was a forerunner to FDS 2.0), even Psalm 37 has a dual prophecy... most often applied to "paradise earth", it also applied during Solomon's reign, when it was a time of peace. Is it me? Or are the dual prophecy interpretations proliferating at an alarming rate? Did I miss the dual prophecy bus in years past?

There are heaps of them now. It's how they get around the obvious context of the scriptures from when they were written so they can use them to control people in the here and now.

When I was growing up, it seemed like every single prophecy in the Old Testament was supposed to have a second fulfilment. Back then it was called 'type' and 'antitype'. I found out later that the concept was common in Bible literature of the 1800's

Freaky Freddy Franz was a master when it came to writing fictional stories about 'types' and antitypes' and how the Jehovah's Witnesses were fulfilling them.
